got my mail 11am this morning but had to work right after I liked the package its really stylish and it looks really professional. Looking forward to the 12th of august to see the full top20 and hopefully I can finish in top 3 (I didnt make top 3 in time trails since Im using DFP... I got 4th place)
I think it will be the DFGT or the DFP which they will use in the finals... It got to be since its all part of Sony/Polyphony and it will raise the sales maybe

The Spanish GT Academy has come to an end.
The three lucky guys are danicl1007, who won the final round, Lucasor, and other guy, I don't know his nickname.
But the organization was really shameful. All time trials held were done in standard mode in arcade > time trial. And the final stage was a head to head split screen battle, in standard mode too.

Seriously, standard? If that's the case we should also be doing it in standard.

There was a big confusion at the beginning, there were 6 cockpits, the firsts 6 drivers made their laps using professional mode, then, the next 6 switched back to standard mode because the people organizing the event said so, so the first 6 had to do their laps all over again but in standard mode.
I think it was the first time they touched a PS3 with GT5P inside.
Heres a pic of the winners:
The whole event was filmed with a bunch of HD cameras, so I would expect a GT-TV documentary to come out.

In my not so humble opinion, the level of the guys in the finals was not so high. Some of them were mediocre drivers. Some others maybe didn't have their lucky day.
When I found a free cockpit (i didn't meet the rules so I couldn't participate, I dropped by as a mere spectator and because I know the winner and some other guys), I was able to do some laps with the F40 in Fuji and Pro physics, and one of the top 20 drivers (not gonna say names) couldn't even match my pace, he was more than 10 seconds off my ghost after several tries, then he admitted that it was his cousin that played in Eiger+350z instead of him, at least that's what I understood.
Then I just did some laps in Suzuka with the GT-R in standard mode, and I easily matched the pace of the top guys (the four finalists), and beating by 2 or more seconds the bast majority of the top 20 guys.
In my opinion, 7 weeks is too much for a time trial. Thousands of laps needed. It can happen everything, regular drivers can have a "magical" lap among all of those thousands of laps, or even worst, they just try to mimic the top drivers.
After saying this, I must say that I'm just amazed with the technique of lucasor, I think he's a professional driver or a driving teacher or something, he won the first four time trials with ease, then he destroyed everyone in the karting briefing with the media. He deserves to be in Silverstone, as well as Dani, he's an awesome driver.

2 time trials in the first round, three laps each.
Eiger + 350z + S2 + Standard
Suzuka + 350z + S2 + Standard
1 timetrial in the second round.
Suzuka + GTR + S2 + Standard
And in the Semifinals and final round, head to head split screen battle:
Suzuka + GTR + N3 + Standard + 3 laps.
Eiger + 350z + S2 + Standard
Suzuka + 350z + S2 + Standard
1 timetrial in the second round.
Suzuka + GTR + S2 + Standard
And in the Semifinals and final round, head to head split screen battle:
Suzuka + GTR + N3 + Standard + 3 laps.
I thought they would have give them more of a challenge like a RWD on N3 tires in pro not 4WD on standard.

There was one spanish guy that posted on the offical forums that they suspected one or more "hired drivers" completed the top 20 times. There may be some truth to it.
What kind of setup did they have? Bucket seats?
Which steering wheel did they use?

No, the 20 finalist had some runs in the kart circuit against the media, SCEE staff and so on.
10 minutes warming up, 10 minutes running against the clock, and then, the 12 fastest guys out of the pack had a 15 laps race with a grid start.
Now that I take a look on the dictionary, I guess "briefing" wasn't the right word
Recaro Bucket seats, 30 something inches 1080p Bravias and DFGT.
That's me btw.

Lol @ ruffo, like karting is allmost like racing on Silverstone, no kart skills needed for that. And why whining on the skills of the top20? They wanted this so bad that they drove 500 laps more then some others but hey, then they deserve to go to Silverstone.
YOU didn;t meet the rules or something like that, don't talk afterwards about the others. They got a place for Silverstone so they deserve it ( got nothing to do with a Ferrari F40 or kartskills )
Edit:
Norway is a little different then Holland so... i think you just have to wait...
